An EmntY Town.

Annapolis was fairly emptied to-day of
its population. The cut rates in the A,
w. 81 b., and the Short Line Railroads,
in reducing the round trip fare from 81 %
to 80 cents, together with the Masonic
centennial celebration in Baltimore, has
induced many to avail themselves of the
low rates, and in consequence our city is
fairly depopulated. Both railroads car
ried trains, including men, women and
children, besides large number of Mas
ons, accompanied by the Annapolis Cor
net Band. They made an imposing ap
pearance as they marched from their hall
this morning to the depot. The public
schools of this city also suspended for the
occasion in order to give the teachers an
opportunity of witnessing the celebration,
and the boys and girls are having a
good time'' rowing the hills and enjoying
their child-like sports. There's nothing
like enjoying this life while you can. and
getting all cut of the world that it is worth.

The Clothes Moth.

May is the month in which the eggs of
the clothes moth are deposited; so, early
in the month, all garments of wool or fur
ought to be wrapped up and put away for
the summer. If each article be thorough.
ly wrapped up in severel thicknesses of pa
per, how can the mother moth deposit
her eggs upon the clothes? and if she can
not do that, how can the larvae do any
mischief? OF what use are camphor, to
bacco, and other bad smelling stuffs if
the above precautien be taken? The
good sense of our readers will suggest a
proper answer to all the above questions.
If the furs and wooden are not put away
until the moths are noticed flying about,
watchfulness, and frequent examination
of every article, will be needed during the
season, to be sure that the pest is not
playing havoc in closets and chests.
Trial is all Jones Bros ask for their Cigars
and Tobacco.

The latest novelty for raising funds for

"Anti-Giggling Sociables. 1t is worked
after this manner. The company meet at

fortably and conversation is INDUCED in
on different topics, but woe betide the
unfortunate who laughs, smiles, or gig
giles, for every laugh, smile, or giggle
costs him or her five cents. An evening 5

without the aid of refreshments of any

September the reasons for coal
famine are apparent,
The first convention of the new
District Assembly of Reading rail-
road employees was held here yester-
day afternoon. the meeting having
been hurriedly called to consider the
troubles which have arisen among
the coal handlers at Port Richmond
and Elizabethport during the past
few days.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. Co.
Representative 0fthe Lehigh Valley
Railroad and the Lehigh Navigation
COMPANIES state that the same terms
are now open TO their miners that
have always been offered to them,
which is to resume work at the old
wages and accept whatever advances
the market price of coal will warrant.
If work should be stopped in the
Schuylkill region, and the miners in
the Lehigh region shall resume, the
latter will, it is declared, receive
considerable advance upon the basis
of pay; but as the busy season of the
anthracite coal trade is over, the
Lehigh miners cannot expect to real
ize such an advance as the SchuylkiIl
men have enjoyed since SepteksBar,
amounting some months to as much
as q per cent. over their $3.50 basis.
An official of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company states that the
Wyoming region is amply able to
supply the anthracite market should
the Schuylkill and Lehigh region
both become idle. This can be done,
it is stated, with perfect ease, as the
busy season in that trade has ended.
AS far as the Pennsylvania officials
can see there is no reason Whatever
for the scare which seems to exist
concerning a coal famine.
